C.2 Make Sure The Wireless Client Software Is Up-to-Date

Before starting out, please keep in mind that service packs, patches, and new
releases of drivers and other supporting technologies for wireless clients are being
generated at a fast pace. A common problem encountered in client security setup is
not having the right driver or updates to it on the client. For example, if you are
setting up WPA on the client, make sure you have a driver installed that supports
WPA, which is a relatively new technology. Even many client cards currently avail-
able do not ship from the factory with the latest drivers.
